Medium/Heavy Duty Truck Engines, Fuel & Computerized Management Systems 6th Edition by Sean Bennett
Quick Navigation

Overview

Ideal for students, entry-level technicians, and experienced professionals, the fully updated Sixth Edition of MEDIUM/HEAVY DUTY TRUCK ENGINES, FUEL & COMPUTERIZED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS is the most comprehensive guide to highway diesel engines and their management systems available today. The new edition features expanded coverage of natural gas (NG) fuel systems, after-treatment diagnostics, and drive systems that rely on electric traction motors (including hybrid, fuel cell, and all-electric). Three new chapters address electric powertrain technology, and a new, dedicated chapter on the Connected Truck addresses telematics, ELDs, and cybersecurity. This user-friendly, full-color resource covers the full range of commercial vehicle powertrains, from light- to heavy-duty, and includes transit bus drive systems. Set apart from any other book on the market by its emphasis on the modern multiplexed chassis, this practical, wide-ranging guide helps students prepare for career success in the dynamic field of diesel engine and commercial vehicle service and repair.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • The Sixth Edition features enhanced coverage of key topics such as troubleshooting, diagnostics, and exhaust aftertreatment system repairs.
  • The author has added three new chapters on electric powertrains; one is dedicated to high voltage electrical safety, another focuses on hybrid drive and fuel cell technology, and the third covers electric drivetrains, from energy storage systems and power management to traction motors.
  • A new chapter titled "The Connected Truck" focuses on telematics in commercial vehicles, highlighting the uses of V2V, I2V, and V21. The chapter exposes readers to important concepts like platooning technology and electronic logging devices (ELDs), and a comprehensive analysis of cybersecurity explores its impact on fleets, technicians, and infrastructure.
  • The text now includes expanded coverage of high shear resistant engine lubes and OEM extended service intervals enabled by CK-4 and FA-4 engine oils.
  • The Sixth Edition includes new information on OEM service and maintenance requirements and telematics prognostics such Cummins DESA/ADEPT, and Detroit Connect.
  • The text now includes an up-to-date introduction to the latest OEM wireless ESTs, including Cummins INLINE mini and INLINE7.
